The home is about 6 miles from the University of Southern California, where Mr. Swann, 65, was named athletic director last year.

NFL Hall of Famer Lynn Swann has purchased a $3.08 million home in Los Angeles, according to listing agent Michelle Saniei of Hilton & Hyland.

The Hancock Park home was listed for $3.15 million in February with Ms. Saniei and colleague Jesse Lally.

The home is about 6 miles from the University of Southern California, where Mr. Swann, 65, was named athletic director last year. Mr. Swann, a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s and ’80s, went on to become a longtime sports commentator on ABC. In 2006 he was the Republican nominee for Pennsylvania governor, losing to Ed Rendell.

Built in 2014, the contemporary home has a waterfall at the entrance. The roughly 4,300-square-foot house has five bedrooms; the master has a private patio overlooking the Hollywood sign. Outside there is a saltwater swimming pool and barbecue.

The seller was Seth Gottlieb, co-founder of internet marketing company WhatIf Media. He said he bought the house last year but is selling because he has another child on the way and needs more space. A self-described “huge football fan,” Mr. Gottlieb said he was excited to hear that Mr. Swann was the buyer. “My neighbors must be pretty exited,” he said.
